Feed exactly what the world's largest ferret breeders do. Nutrition in a balance of fresh poultry-based proteins with no fishy odor!; vitamin- and fat-enriched to provide energy your ferret needs for growth, shiny haircoat, and overall health. Ideal palatability, digestibility and amino acid profile for better quality growth and healthy living for your ferret. Excellent for all life stages. Freshness is guaranteed.

Feeding recommendations: Ferrets of all ages should have food and fresh water available at all times.

Young ferrets (6-11 weeks old) - It is important at this age to sufficiently moisten the diet for your young ferret. Mix three parts warm fresh water to one part Marshall Diet (3:1 ratio). Allow the mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes. Add more Marshall diet or water until it reaches a wet oatmeal consistency. Keep some dry diet available at this age so your ferret will adjust to a completely dry diet by the time he is 12-13 weeks of age.

Adolescent and adult ferrets (12 weeks and older) - By now, your ferret should have converted to the dry diet. Keep fresh water and Marshall Diet available at all times.

Ferrets have a unique digestive system; therefore, their nutritional needs are different from those of other similar-sized animals. Be careful that the treats you offer do not compromise his diet and overall health.

Great Product! Marshall Ferret Diet
I have raised my 4 ferrets on Marshall Ferret Diet. My first two were always very healthy, and lived a full life span of 8 years. My second two have been very healthy, as well, and they are reaching their golden years now, too. I have had minimal veterinary care with my ferrets, and would recommend this diet to anyone. When I did make the mistake of using other ferret foods (like the ones that have dried carrots/veggies), my female ferret had some stomach/digestive problems. I immediately returned to Marshall, and have remained with that product ever since.

Great product
I have used Marshalls Premium Ferret diet for my two ferrets and they love it. Even when I put other dry brands out for them to try, they always eat the Marshalls.
I make them moist daily with warm water along side their dry every day. They ENJOY it very much!!! Like warm cereal they love it.
My Vet also uses this product when my ferrets are there.

Senior formula is a bit of a joke..they don't need it. Regular ferret food works for their entire lives. If you have an "old" ferret that has a problem eating, use the can food, mix with Gerber's 2nd foods, chicken flavor and they will lap it up! I zap in the micro for about 5 seconds to make it more pleasing to them.... ( FYI: a senior ferret is 4 years old)
